Wall St. extends slide with trade and rates in focus

Those higher rates have been the catalyst for recent selling, stoking concerns that slower growth would impinge on corporate profits.

The U.S. Federal Reserve recently raised short-term interest rates for the third time this year, with one more expected before the year ends. They've also dropped more than the rest of the market so far this month.

"President Trump's scathing and ramped-up attack on the Fed has the dollar bulls retreating as even the hint of political interference on monetary policy is unsettling", Innes said.

Wall Street stocks plunged Wednesday, with major indices losing more than three percent in a selloff prompted by the sudden jump in US interest rates.

Stocks retreated Wednesday, with the Dow Jones industrial average losing more than 800 points in a selloff that accelerated in the final minutes of trading. The S&P 500 shed 1.53% to 2,839.43, on track for its steepest loss since June. The Nasdaq fell 315 points, or 4.1 per cent, to 7,422.

The stock fell 35.7 percent to 38 cents in morning trading. US markets rebounded briefly after it was announced that President Trump would meet with Chinese leader Xi Jinping at next month's G-20 summit in Buenos Aires to discuss the intensifying trade conflict. Amazon skidded 6.2 percent to $1,755.25 and Alphabet, Google's parent company, gave up 4.6 percent to $1,092.16.

The Nasdaq composite, which has a high concentration of technology companies, suffered its biggest loss in more than two years and has dropped nearly 8 percent since the start of October.
